The present invention-relates to improvesoap, particularly designed for use with a double faucet of the character or type which are quite commonly employed with laundry The object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive soapholder, which may be readily applied to a double faucet, and which, when in position, will be securely held against accidental displacement.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fi ure 1 is an elevation of a double faucet p 1 specially designed and shown as being mounted on the rear wall of a laundry tub or tray, said view being partly broken away as on the line 11 of Figure 2.

Figure 2 is a plan of the parts shown in Figure 1, with the delivery nozzle of the faucet removed.

Figure 3 is a vertical section, substantially on the line 3--3 of Figure 2, through the soap holder detached from the fixture, the parts being on a sli htly enlarged scale.

Referring to the rawing, 1 designates the body of a double faucet fixture which is shown as connected by suitable coupling members 2 with supply pipes 8, 4.

The fauct as shown is provided with a swinging nozzle 5, and the flow of water from either supply pipe, 3, 4, tojsaid nozzle is controlled by valves connected to handles 6 in the ordinary, well known, manner.

The coupling members 2 are shown as connected to the inlets ofthe'body 1 by nuts7',

1 and the upper faces of these nutsserveas the I support for the improved soap dish.

The dish or holder ispreferably formed of cast metal and is of a general tray-like form having a surrounding marginal flange 8. The bottom of the main body of the tray, which, as shown, is preferably of substantially rectangular form with its longest dimension extending parallel to the length of the body 1 of the double faucet is shown as including slightly inclined portions 9, which slo e from the sides and ends towarda cen- "other suitable material, although preferably, as before stated, it is composed of metal as for the purpose for which it is particularly 105 tra, substantially horizontal or fiat section 10, which is shown as being centrally pro vided with a drip ior waste'outlet 11.

I The rearportion of the tray-like bodypf the dish 18 somewhat narrower than the for WILLIAI J. MIX, ornnca'run, nmnvors, ASSIGNOR TO anorrnitnnnnnn, autism, 1

ward'porti'on, a relatively narrown'eck -1f3-being provided, and at opposite sides' of this neck are formed recessesadaptedto receive the coupling members 20f the-faucet, where' by when the dish has been properly placed in position v( as shown: in Figuresl and 2) it will be held quite firmly and accidental displacement thereof prevented.

end provides laterally projecting ears 14, which bear upon the couplings 2 at points diametrically opposite those at which said couplings are engaged by the rim sections at the rear of the main body of the holder.

It will be seen that by-lifting the dish or holder bodily so that it-will be out of contact with the nuts 7, in which position the supplypipes 3, 4, will extend through the recesses formed at opposite sides of the neck 13, it will bepossible by slightly tilting the holder to dlsconnect it from the faucet, and a similar operation will replace or secure the holder in 80 as i neat appearing soap holder which can be so readily applied to a double faucet, and will not in any way interfere with the manipulation of the valve handles of the faucet.

While the relatively narrow, or neck-like portion ofthe holder, that extends between the upwardly extending projections on the fixture body, and the rear portion of the holder need not be of the exact depressed form shown, the construction illustrate-d is of minimum weight, whichis a very important we V feature. 7

The holder maybe made of vitreous or any designed, namely, use with laundry tubs-or trays, there is considerable danger of itsbeing broken if'made of frangible material.
